Last year we did this too, and it worked quite well. We had several methods
explained how they could find the identifier - through Wikipedia's lists,
through a map with all the monuments on it (using the coordinates) or in
another way. I believe someone was working on making it possible to query
the database too etc. Maarten (or someone else) might be able to give more
details. We can provide a link to that within the form. If we can transfer
the identifier with the url, we could prefill it. But that assumes they
already look it up on beforehand.

OK, I was not clear here I guess. Some volunteers will add this information
with a bot for /all/ uploads, based on the database (which is again based on
the wikipedia lists). If you are a pupil, then don't worry - just upload and
we will take care of the rest.
